MIDWAY Galaga Cab - marquee retainer question
« on: October 28, 2008, 03:22:01 pm »
What do the original Galaga marquee retainer strips look like??  Are they metal or plastic??  Anyone have a good source for these......or a good knock-off solution??

Thanks,
MAME Nut

They were metal c shaped strips which can be found here.

My cab only had one of the retainers so I started making another from a piece of angled metal from Lowes.  It doesn't have the curve of the original but it was less than being a set from that site and I had metal leftover.
Back in MY day we lived on the moon and we had to build a rocket ship from scratch to get to the Earth before we suffocated.
